The fellows and students of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ, Oxford moved on from drinking, gaming, and brutish pleasures to academic success, or learned to balance them much better than in the early centuries of the college’s history.  The 19th century opened with the college’s being an academic irrelevancy and closed with its being an academic powerhouse which it is to this day.

It is a commonplace that many of the coats of arms on display in Oxford colleges commemorate past benefactors. ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ is no exception, and in fact is particularly rich in heraldry that celebrates those who have contributed to its material wellbeing. This has been the case throughout its history, but the purpose of this Note is to take a look at some of the armorial additions that have been made to its fabric since the mid-19th century.
